Jeremiah 20:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Let that man be like the cities
    that the Lord overthrew without mercy.
Let him hear the cry of warning in the morning
    and shouts of battle at noon
¹⁷ because he did not kill me in the womb.
Then my mother would have been my grave,
    with her womb confining me forever.
¹⁸ Why did I come forth from the womb
    to see toil and sorrow
    and spend my days in shame?
